While police were attempting to get a warrant, ASIRT said the RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) responded and contained the home. ERT attempted to negotiate with the man to surrender, but were unsuccessful.

Shortly after 9 p.m., the “situation escalated, resulting in officers firing their service weapons” and the suspect was shot and fatally wounded.

Details about how the situation escalated have not been released.

Late that evening, a “confrontation” occurred that resulted in the officers firing their weapons.

No officers were injured and police said there was no concern for public safety, but ASIRT said police found a sawed-off shotgun at the scene.
